</I></B>
<DD> Converts the toplevel window specified by <I>pathName</I></B> into a non-toplevel
widget. Normally this command is called to convert a <B>toplevel</B></I> widget
into a <B>frame</B></I> widget. The newly-converted frame widget is
un-mapped from the screen. To make it appear inside its parent, you
must call a geometry manager (e.g. pack) explictly.

<DL>
<DT> <B>wm release <I>pathName</I></B>
</I></B>
<DD> Makes the non-toplevel window specified by <I>pathName</I></B> into a toplevel
widget. Normally this command is called to convert a <B>frame</B></I> widget
into a <B>toplevel</B></I> widget, but it can also be used on any
non-toplevel widget (e.g, button). The newly-converted toplevel window
is automatically mapped to the screen. To prevent it from appearing in
the screen, you must call <B>wm withdraw</B></I> immediately after calling
<B>wm release</B></I>.
